Living Memorials - Plant and Garden Gifts

Plants remind us of the power of life. As memorial gifts, plants provide a focal
point for contemplation and remembrance, and contribute to a peaceful
atmosphere.

With the increasing popularity of cremation, cremated remains
(ashes) can be scattered in a natural setting. Plaques or markers
are then used to commemorate the deceased and mark the location.

Potted plants make an excellent, lasting alternative to funeral
flowers. A well-presented, gift-quality plant can be as beautiful as any
floral arrangement, and provide beauty and pleasure for years instead of
weeks. Plants make beautiful gifts, but should be easy to care for unless
you know the recipient has a green thumb.

Memorial trees and plants

Eternitree's range includes memorial gift trees
and plants, bonsai trees, and tree
markers (memorial plaques). All gift trees are guaranteed for life - if it
doesn't survive, they will replace it. Delivery is anywhere within the US.

Potted gift plants
are packaged in a gift box along with a personal message from
you and care instructions for the recipient. Memorial plants in
a pot last much longer than bouquets of flowers.

Memorial Gift Tree Packages
include a two- to three-year-old sapling (approximately two feet
tall) in a five inch pot wrapped in decorative packaging, plus a
gift booklet and complete care and planting instructions. The trees
can live happily in the pot they arrive in for several months, and
be
planted any time of the year.

Where there is limited garden space, Eternitree's
Bonsai Tree selection provides an alternative
that can also be easily transported
during a relocation. Both
indoor
bonsai trees and
outdoor
bonsai trees beautify any memorial display, put alongside framed
photos, the cremation urn, and other mementoes.

Memorial Garden Accessories

To accompany a tree, or if you already have a plant or
place in the garden in mind, a marker or plaque that can be fixed
into the earth is best so nothing needs to be attached to the plant
itself. If there isn't already, provide somewhere to sit. This could be
regular garden furniture, or a special memorial bench.
In addition to plants, consider windchimes and water features.

The Comfort Company has the widest range of
memorial items suitable for outdoors. Many can be personalized.
